scientific name

Myogale pyramidalis
status

 

M. pyramidalis

ORIGIN: From the superficial surface of M. rectus abdominis .

INSERTION: Via a short tendon on the lateral side of the spine of the pubis, lateral to the tendon of M. rectus abdominis .

REMARKS: This muscle has the same general form in the 11 study taxa. Gupta (1966) incorrectly reported that in Scalopus it is M. pyramidalis , not M. rectus abdominis , that crosses over the ventral midline to insert on the opposite side.
